I’m not sure there was any one individual player story in the NFL this season more curious than that of Devlin Hodges, the rookie quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers who became the first undrafted rookie in the modern era as a non-replacement player to win three games.
Coming out of Samford after setting the FCS record for the most passing yards thrown over the course of a career, Hodges failed to be drafted, and then went unsigned. He received some rookie minicamp invitations, the Steelers’ being the second that he attended, at which point he signed.
